[Saba Sports News] Enzo Fernandez’s return to the Monumental Stadium in a River Plate jersey has been warmly welcomed. Enzo, a former youth academy player, recently joined the Argentine national team and contributed to their victory in the Copa America. As a product of River Plate’s youth training, he made a return to the club’s home stadium, the Monumental, receiving enthusiastic applause from the fans. Despite a previous discrimination scandal, Enzo chose to wear his River Plate No. 13 jersey at the persuasion of the club’s senior management. In an interview, he expressed his happiness to play for River Plate and acknowledged their role in his development as a player. Since winning the World Cup with Argentina, Enzo’s value has skyrocketed. On the last day of the 2022-2023 winter transfer period, Chelsea signed the 22-year-old midfielder from Benfica for 121 million euros, making him one of the most sought-after transfers of the season.
